UFC 101 (Anderson Silva vs Forrest Griffin)


Recommended Posts

I hate UFC. It should be called UGC because all it is, is grappling now. What was so cool about the first few ones was it was the different types of martial arts, all pit against each other with almost no rules. Now it's just a grapple fest. 99% of the matches are just some guy getting the other in a grapple move and either punching him out or making him submit. You know EXACTLY what's going to happen every time. BORING!!! Before it was so wide open and unpredictable, it was awesome.

Wow that Silva vs Griffon fight was strange. I'm speechless. The punch that finished Forest was just a tab and he was out, very strange.

Yeah that was weird and Silva marches on again who's next?

People calling the punch that Forrest got 'light' need to have their eyes checked. It was front on straight in the frontal part of the jaw.

Good punch, but sad to see Forrest lose. Silva is without a doubt the best there is. Belfort will have quite a hard time (maybe an impossible one).

Yeah, it was a straight on punch but Silva was moving away from him so I don't see how there could have been that much behind it. I don't think it was so much that punch that did it but the first two times Silva knocked him down before that. Pretty unbelievable all in all. I wish the fight had lasted longer.

And look at this...

Anderson Silva to give up title if it means more fights at light heavy weight

One of the worst stoppages ever in the Sadollah fight.

We've seen that guy take a beating time and time again, so him just taking some time to get up didn't mean that he was out of it. If I recall Season 7, Sadollah had a good chin.

The ref was too hasty.

I can't believe that forrest just walked out after the fight instead of staying in the ring. Though the way silva mocks some of the people he fights isn't much better.

Apparently his jaw got dislocated and broken...

I wouldn't stand around the ring. I'd get in the back quick for them to do something.

Yeah, have to admint Silva was simply amazing. I hope they give his Machida next because that will be a very interesting match up.

Really disappointed for Ken Flo. BJ was just way too strong for him. I can't see anyone knocking him off the top of the 155lbs ladder even if he does face Diego Sanchez.

Amir Sadollah - No way was that a justified stoppage! The UFC really need to get the old guard refs back in to the Octogon! Bring back Big John McCarthy! He's a free agent too now that Affliction is finished!

If you read the link to yahoo sports I posted up there ^ Silva said he doesn't want to fight Machida because they are friends and training partners. However, if Dana White has other plans...who knows?

“Lyoto is my friend, he is my brother and there is no way that fight will ever happen,” Silva said.

I would love to see it but I doubt it will happen! :(

It's not the UFC and it's not the Ref's.. it's simply dan miragliotta.. he needs to go, he has too many issues like this. My biggest issue with the Sadollah fight was not only that it was stopped to early, but after he initially fell down, ALL (EVERY ONE) of Johnny's punches were to the back of Sadollah's head.. every single punch, watch it over again. Now how can dan miragliotta not step in and give Johnny a warning or take a point from him instead of just calling the fight.. it was brutal.

Regarding BJ.. i really think sanchez is gonna take care of him.

Wait you can't punch the back of the head? If thats against the rules I could see him not calling it but when a fighter goes down and stops blocking punches I can see the ref stepping in. Yeah I thought it was a bad call but they gotta make that choice quick.

No you most definitely can NOT punch the back of the head.. and every shot once sodallah went down was to the back of the head. Sadollah was doing his best to get back to his feet and covering his face, it's all he could do to get up, he has no reason to protect the back of his head because it's an illegal blow. Watch it again and see all the punches to the back of the head.

Don't forget Yves Lavigne. Him and Dan Miragliotta seem to be the main 2 refs these days with the odd appearance by Herb Dean for main events. What happened to Steve Mazzagatti, Mario Yamasaki and the others? They might have made their own bad decisions, but they were no where near as bad as the new crop!

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
    • with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11
    • with LTSC and ESU there are still viable as a stable platform not that they care and let people deal with w11 crashing and burning every month support mean shet if the platform is trash
    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.
